Florida Route Sales Facts

What types of Route Sales are there?

There are many kinds of routes, including Bread and Cake routes, Snack and Chip routes, Beverage routes, Meat and Food routes, Vending routes, etc, etc. As a business owner, you form a contractual agreement with a supplier to become an independent distributor for their products.

There are "protected routes" and "independent routes".

Protected vs Independent Routes

A "Protected" route for sale offers you an established, "Protected Route" of clients, and products. High profile products, to be delivered to grocery and convenience stores, restaurants and night clubs, office buildings, vending machines, etc, - or parcel delivery like FedEx, UPS, etc.

There are two main types of Protected Routes - "Protected Stops" and "Protected Territories"

• Protected Stops relates to individual accounts assigned to you, in writing - not a geographic boundary. If you can find a new, unassigned account anywhere, you can add it to your route, and increase your business' future sale value.
• Protected Territory describes a set zone of operation, with geographic boundaries, that is off limits to other operators. FedEx, for example, is a protected territoty. You cannot acquire new clients outside your specified operating range. You can purchase new territoties (routes) and increase your business, as many do now.

Independent routes can represent more than one supplier and are generally less expensive to purchase, plus offer a higher net yeild. These can include bread routes, cake routes, meat routes, and snack routes for well known products.

Independent Routes are not restricted to a geographical territory.
